These cookies were okay, they have the potential to be amazing and some of the better chocolate chip cookies I've eaten. I followed this recipe exactly (other than halfing it) and was disappointed because of the saltiness, they didn't seem too flat to me, just salty. This recipe has 2941 reviews with a 4.5 star rating, so I was a little annoyed that after I made this recipe and read the reviews almost every single 4 and 5 star review had changed the flour and salt. Please people rate these recipes as they are written, because in all honestly this recipe is not worth 4.5 stars as is. Is it that hard to rate a recipe as it is and then write in your review changes that are needed to make it a better recipe?

I just made this recipe and had to leave a review....... One word, AMAZING!!!! I have never been good at baking cookies. They usually end of like mini hockey pucks. Not these. They came out delicious, gooey and super easy to make. The only change I made was using 1/2 teaspoon of salt and I kept them in for 14 min instead of the recommended 12 but I think it depends on the individual oven. Devouring them as we speak ;)

Love this cookie!! Unlike some others I really liked the 1tsp salt- great flavor and it didn't feel overwhelming at all. I also used white whole wheat flour (1.5 cups instead of 1.25), 1 tsp baking soda, omitted walnuts, and refrigerated the dough overnight before shaping them into thick discs to bake. Turned out great and was highly complimented by friends!! Had to keep some leftovers for myself.

Good, basic oatmeal cookie recipe. Be careful not to over mix the dough: cookie dough should be mixed just until the ingredients are incorporated. Do not use a mixer after the flour has been added. Use a big ol' wooden spoon. I find using baking powder(about 1/2 tsp) along with the baking soda will help puff up the cookies, too.
